The stock has soared fourfold in the past year. But the base that now appears is just a second-stage structure.

Green Mountain has soared 121% from its 33.25 cup-base breakout, which was launched in the Nov. 30 week. That cup was too deep, but Green Mountain offered entries from its 10-week line as it advanced.

Grand Canyon Education (NASDAQ:LOPE), which offers post-secondary education programs for 50,000 students through its online system and its Arizona campus, has backtracked to within 2% of its 34.17 entry from a second-stage flat base.

It had climbed as much as 7% before backpedaling in tame action.

Grand Canyons' best-possible 99 Composite Rating puts it in a tie (with New Oriental Education & Technology) for first place in the education group.

That group, in turn holds a stellar 19th place out of the 197 industries tracked by IBD.

Flooring retailer Lumber Liquidators (NYSE:LL) has regained its 10-week line and now shows a nine-week consolidation.

But this may not be Lumber Liquidator's finest moment. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating is a lowly D+, while its up-down volume ratio is well below a neutral 1.0 reading.

And the base itself, which can't quite be identified, is a bit sloppier than previous formations. And it's a third-stage base, which is not as fresh as a first- or second-stage affair.

That cup was just 22% deep, which sounds like a tame correction. But a look at the daily chart reveals a tad more choppiness than you'd really want to see. More troubling, the breakout showed no special volume.

Travel-reservation site TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP) now shows a seven-week flat base. The buy point for this second-stage base appears at 65.51.

TripAdvisor posted EPS gains of 12%, 21% and 32% in the past three quarters. Sales in the past four reports accelerated from 16% to 18% to 23% to 25%.
